66 Apr 23 Comment Jack, your image is so authentic. Gary's version adds some pop. But the ennui you document has its own impact. The old car and the dreary day are the elements of this story. Apr 10th
66 Apr 23 Comment Henry, this image is simply elegant. That you spotted it and made that IR conversion in your head is testimony to your creativity. Usually as photographers we say it is the light we must capture, but with your image, it is all about the shadows. Yes, the light in the leaves adds contrast, but it is the shadows and dark areas that power this lovely photograph. Apr 10th
66 Apr 23 Comment Melanie, you've shared many excellent photographs with us, but this is my favorite. You gave new life and a fresh perspective (with the luck of great weather) to a highly familiar subject. I like the backlighting, and what you did to highlight the foreground bushes. Doing this added almost 3D depth to this lovely landscape image. High marks! Apr 4th
66 Apr 23 Comment Arik, so Gary is not the only one in our group who experiments. It is amazing, with the help of AI, how you handled the blur produced by a slow shutter speed and moving subjects. Adding space under her foot created the right frame balance. This image reminds me of the whimsical photographs of the great street photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson. Share some more please. Apr 4th
66 Apr 23 Comment Gary, especially considering where you started, the final image, technically speaking, is as close to perfect as is possible. I like the tone of this simple image and how it nonetheless arouses curiosity in viewers. For me, it is a still frame taken from a classic film noire from the 1930s. Like it a lot. Keep experimenting. Apr 2nd
66 Apr 23 Comment Palli, I really like what you did to create a side-lighting effect that was less evident in the original. Also increasing the clarity and detail in trees brought additional energy and life to this image. In past images you have increased contrast in the sky to good effect, which you have have done masterfully again with this photograph. High marks. Apr 2nd

88 Apr 23 Comment Trey, I like your post processing editing. Taking out the foreground grass reframed the photo quite nicely. It also created a secondary subject with the corn stubs (which remind me remotely of a military cemetery). The image is very painterly, could have been featured Life Magazine. Apr 23rd
88 Apr 23 Comment Thanks Trey for the suggestions. Indeed, I tried to introduce blue to the floor, but could not render something that did not look artificial (my skills with PS are limited). This is one of those images I am attracted to, but don't like. Apr 23rd
88 Apr 23 Reply Jacky, thank you for the suggestion of including a subject in this dreary image. You suggested a human subject, but others might drive alternative interpretations, for example a flowering weed. I will add something, human or nonhuman. If I get to ESP again, I will bring a model or beg someone to serve as a model. Apr 23rd
88 Apr 23 Comment Jacky, I so much like the poem-photo creation. Instead of dry, and many times, uninformative tech data, why not invite photographers to write a poem to embrace their image? A poem might be a high standard, but at least the non-cognitive emotional story could be shared. As your work is an example, photographs are more than reflected light, they are, as well, a reflection on an interaction with what is full of life too outside of oneself. Apr 17th
88 Apr 23 Comment Quang Phan, this is such an original photograph of a subject that is impossible to render a fresh image. Somehow you took it without the distraction of tourists. Other than some noise caused by a high ISO, there is a lot to like about this image. Apr 17th
